I had to work today, but the patch is installing now, and even tho I have to be at work at 7am tomorrow, I plan on logging in to see what the hell’s going on. And since the latest WoW thread was more than 3000 replies deep, I figured maybe it was time for a new thread, one where we don’t have to wade thru old info and strats. So: anyone logged in with 4.0.0 running yet? WOOT! Installer just finished as I was typing that sentence there! Here I go! ---

The game looks better than ever! I kept my Arcane spec as Arcane, and I think I like it better than before. I also love not having Dampen Magic! I still have to redo my other spec; prolly gonna forgo any sort of Frostfire spec and just spec Fire so I can blast the shit outta things. I think the conversion of honor/shards/etc to gold was kind of lame. Thousands of SKS, dozens (hundred?) of hours of raiding and dungeons and pvp got me… 812 gold. LAME. ---

If you pick up at the last 2 pages of the current thread, everyone is talking about the new patch and talents and so forth. We had a separate Cata thread a few weeks ago but it kind of fell away.
